Ester and Javi asked me for helping to decorate theirterrace, and that is because some times the smallest spaces are the most difficult to decorate.

The most of the time we don´t think in decorate small terraces for their size and we used it like “storage room” or for put some plants. But we don´t have to miss even one square meter of our home, and with a correct decoration we can won an extra space that we are not counting and above all a welcoming atmosphere.

The first that we have to raise is the use that we want for the space: relax, for breakfast, garden space…

The second thing is take measures of the space and choose furniture that aren´t oversized, we have to take into account the step and circulation spaces. For that the best choice is folding furniture, if we put a small breakfast area we can put fixed for two person and we can have an extra furniture for more person that we can hang up on the wall, including an extra table if we want dinner or take the lunch in the terrace.

The last and very important, you don´t forget the decoration of your terrace, wich it makes that this space be welcoming.

Cushions, candles, flowerpots, the lights (very important, don´t limit yourself to use the terrace only by the day), rugs (better if it will be with stripe fabric , your terrace looks like be more wide, there are ones special for outside but you can use the cotton fabric on summer, they are washable and cheaper, reminds pick up it if is raining).

We also have small portion of terrace in our house, and I find it very problematic. I’ll just hope we could use this approach for a while to our terrace. Seriously, I’m not a very creative person, but I truly appreciate your blog. Everything’s seems so simple yet has huge ideas for home improvement.
